Chapter 1 - Feather Pillows and Confusion

It was a quiet night in Hobbiton. Crickets were chirping in the grass. Frodo Baggins made his way up his front walk and slowly creaked open the round front door of Bag End.

"HOLY PINA COLADA!" he cried.

A horrible sight met his eyes. Random papers were strewn all over the floor, stuff was knocked off the tables, and a few feathers floated in the air.

"What gives?" he asked to nobody in particular.

Suddenly, Frodo heard a shout coming from another part of Bag End.

"I've got Frodo's pillow!"

Then, out of nowhere, a teenage girl appeared, clutching one of his feather pillows. That explained all the feathers. She caught a glance of Frodo, squealed with delight, and bounded over to him. She gave him a tight hug.

"FRODO! I've wanted to meet you for so long!" she squealed.

"Uh, thanks," Frodo gasped. "I guess that you're responsible for all this mess?"

"Nope!" she responded. "At least not all of it!"

Frodo's face turned a shade of gray. "You mean there's more?" he squeaked.

"Yep!" the girl cheerily replied. Three more girls bounded in from the kitchen.

"Uh - who exactly are you guys?" Frodo asked.

"Oh!" the first girl exclaimed. "My name's Joe. This is Auddy, Huh, and Buffy."

"Wh-wh-where did you all come from?" Frodo stuttered.

"That's not important!" Huh said. "What's important is that we're in Lord of the Rings!"

"Did you come from somewhere else in the Shire?" asked a still-dazed Frodo.

"No, silly!" cried Joe.

"Then there's Hobbits in other parts of the world?" asked Frodo.

"Hobbits?" asked Buffy. "We're not ho - " she cut herself off as she glanced around. "Oh my gosh! We really are hobbits!"

"NOOO!" Auddy cried. "Now Frodo's not smaller than me and I won't be able to use that as an excuse for not liking him!"

"Not like me?" asked Frodo. "How dare you!" He stepped forward. "Want to make something of it?"

Joe stepped between the two. "Calm down!" she said. "We're going to live with the fact that we're hobbits, at least until we get out of here! After all, there's nothing wrong with being a hobbit! Hobbits kick butt!"

"No they don't" cried Buffy. "Elves do!"

"Now," said Huh, "we all know that Gollum is the coolest!"

"No!" said Auddy. "Aragorn is!"

Frodo's head buzzed with confusion. "Who are all these people that you're talking about?"

The four girls turned and looked at each other.

"I guess the story hasn't really started yet," whispered Huh to the other three. "Frodo hasn't started out on his adventure yet."

"Or else," added Joe, "The story's over and Frodo's just suffering from memory loss." The other three girls glared at her. "What? It was just an idea!"

Just then, a new voice startled them.

"Is it secret? Is it safe?"

"Nope - it seems as if our story is just beginning," said Auddy.
